“Kaaa!!!”

Wild tea! It’s not delicious!!!

I writhed even after all four bartenders rushed nearby.

I couldn’t think of anything else because of the overwhelming bitter taste that hit my tongue.

“Wait a minute.”

The real customer who handed me the mountain tea was already surrounded by bartenders.

However, Jinsang quickly raised his hands as if he had no intention of fighting.

“Tell me! What did you feed your sister?!”

“…It is produced tea.”

That calm look contrasts with Johnny’s urgent attitude.

Of course, that’s not important now!

“Water! Give me water!”

“Here!”

Lina tried to wash away the remaining wild tea in her mouth with the water she quickly brought.

Meanwhile, Jinsang was slowly heading to the corner.

Some of the other guests were putting their hands on their weapons, not knowing what was going to happen.

An imminent situation where you don’t know what will happen.

“I came today just to say hello.”

“You want me to believe that?!”

“Little girl.”

“Why!”

Despite Johnny’s question, Jinsang suddenly called me.

When I, irritated by the bitter taste of the wild tea, gave a rude answer, the truth was that he revealed his eyes through narrowed eyes.

“The subtitle of the product is Simon Wright.”

What subtitle is attached to the name of the drink?

However, considering that the material for this mountain tea is people, that subtitle must be the name of the person who has become this drink.

“…Who is that?”

The problem was that I didn’t know anyone with that name.

I wondered if maybe I didn’t remember, but that wasn’t the case at all. At least none of those who were important to me were named Simon Wright.

“Sister.”

In this situation, Johnny suddenly called me with a serious expression.

Meanwhile, Eslok and Lillian made weapons in an instant with the blood drawn from their own palms, and Lina prepared a hand shape to turn Jinsang into stone at any time.

“This is the client I mentioned earlier.”

Oh, I thought it was the client who had stopped hearing from me.

While Johnny and I were having this conversation, Jinsang had already retreated to the wall of the bar.

“The ending must have been really bad. Right?”

“Ask this question knowingly?!”

Jinsang opened his mouth as if he was amused by my reaction.

“It was a smooth life, but that’s how it ends… Anyway, this time, I just visited because I wanted to show the taste of my client’s wild tea.”

“….”

This is some kind of crazy guy.

He made the tea himself and is acting like it is a third party.

As this guy in front of me said, wild tea is not a drink made by simply killing people.

I don’t really know the principle, but… I guess it’s a way to dissolve that person’s life with alcohol.

Thanks to this, the biggest characteristic was that the taste came out in various ways depending on the life of the victim.

In the Dream City game, there were several assassination organizations or fixer offices that specialized in this very product.

There is only one thing that the clients who entrust their work to them want.

The person he wanted would become a living car at the end of his life.

Furthermore, there was a client who savored the other person’s death by drinking wild tea himself.

“So? Why did you bring the client’s tea to me?”

“I just told you the reason… but since we are the same problem solvers, I came here to tell you.”

“What are you telling me? You killed the client and then turned him into alcohol?!”

Jinsang nodded to my answer as if it was the correct answer.

“That way, your office won’t suffer in vain, right?”

No, why did you bother feeding that to me! I wanted to scream right away, but I barely held myself back.

“Now, that’s it. How dare you feed me something strange?”

When I raised my vicious right hand and threatened Jinsang, Jinsang acted as if he was troubled.

“As expected, I don’t think I can compete head-on.”

After saying that, his body suddenly fell backwards and disappeared beyond the wall.

***

“He ran away! Catch it!”

I immediately screamed.

Then Eslok and Lillian quickly changed into bat form and left the bar to pursue the truth.

Lina tried to follow, but eventually she came to my side, bringing Sila and General with her.

“Ah, I think there’s still a bitter taste left in my mouth.”

“Then, should I give you something else to soothe your mouth?”

“Yes! Water just can’t do it!”

After Lina heard my answer, she headed to the captain and started pouring appropriate drinks into glasses.

“Chris, are you okay?”

“Ah, it’s okay. I just wrote it… there’s nothing wrong.”

Even as I answered Silas like that, I checked various parts of my body just in case.

If a separate poison had been added to the raw tea, it could have been dangerous no matter what.

For vampires, poison was one of their few weaknesses. Unless they could be resurrected by grinding up their entire poisoned body, or there was an antidote.

“…This request passed the water.”

A client was assaulted by such a pervert, so I drank some of it.

Of course, in this situation, there would have been no request.

“….”

I was not very happy about this situation, which was the equivalent of a failed request.

However, I was concerned that Eslok and Lillian, who had gone out, did not return.

As I was about to go out myself… the two people came back.

“Chris, I’m sorry.”

“Who is that bastard?”

“…I missed it.”

It appears that he escaped Eslok and Lillian’s pursuit by passing through the building as if he had disappeared from the bar.

What is the consideration between the same solvers? It was like they were completely playing with me.

However, a few hours later, I received a call from an unexpected person.

“Who are you?”

I wondered if it was the same guy from earlier, but what I heard from the other side of the terminal was a familiar voice.

The deacon, Malcolm, is the only person with common sense among Frank and his friends.

“What’s going on? Did you call me all the time?”

“Oh, that’s a bit of a problem.”

I wondered if there would be more trouble here.

A little while later, Malcolm himself visited the bar with Frank.

“So what happened?”

Frank looked around the bar and then turned his gaze to Sheila and the general.

Seeing the new number of vampires made me feel bad, but now was not the time to think about such things.

“I dealt with a suspicious guy near the bar.”

“This is a guy who went into the bar pretending to be an ordinary customer.”

Frank himself showed a photo on his terminal screen.

The appearance of the real guy from earlier, covered in blood.

“….”

I avoided Eslok and Lillian, but I couldn’t avoid Frank and his friends. I wondered if I should laugh at this.

If he wasn’t dead, I would have been able to get some information.

“No, but I wasn’t a vampire, so is it okay?”

“Well, this isn’t the first time either.”

Well, the current Silver Side wasn’t in an uproar because of the bounty on my head.

In order to use me to lure a vampire, I had to be alive first… From Frank’s perspective, it seemed like a natural thing to do.

“Well… thank you. Thanks to this, this guy no longer has to target me.”

If you receive help, be sure to express your gratitude honestly!

Because I was an adult, I didn’t overlook that part. Taking advantage of this time, Frank tried to narrow the distance of close surveillance, but was defeated due to Malcolm’s opposition.

***

A few hours later, Sylvia and Lund returned with a slight difference.

“…Is that really true?”

Sylvia asked, looking around my face to see if I was hurt.

“Jeongmaaal. Are you okay?”

“What happened to the guy who did that to Chris?”

“He’s dead. They said they had the misfortune of being caught by Frank.”

I answered Sylvia’s question in as much detail as I could, to the best of my knowledge.

Even as we continued talking about tea and other things, Sylvia held me tightly and couldn’t let go.

No, I’m grateful that you care about me, but my heart…

Sylvia’s chest made it difficult to breathe. Meanwhile, Silvia and the general were holding me tightly together with Silvia, unaware of my feelings.

“….”

Lund looked at the scene and said nothing.

Meanwhile, David, who had entered the bar with Sylvia, heard the story about mountain tea and said something.

“After hearing the story… it sounds a bit like the devil’s honey.”

“Hey, it’s a little different from that.”

Devil’s honey.

It was honey that had nothing to do with the devil, but was given that name due to the terrible manufacturing process.

If you feed an unlucky victim to giant man-eating bees… the bees produce red honey from the victim’s body.

In a series of processes, magicians intervene to infuse the memory of the victim into this honey.

If the wild tea of the past expressed the victim’s life through the taste of tea, the devil’s honey was a way to experience the victim’s memories when eaten.

In some ways, it was treated like a drug, and it was not something that was easily obtained.

“Anyway, I have to report this incident to the public order maintenance office.”

“So this request will be cancelled?”

“Yes, of course. Because the client is dead. Since the culprit is dead, it can be said to be a blessing in disguise.”

Sylvia answered my question as if nothing had happened while she was in her arms.

“Chris?”

“Huh?”

“Next time, don’t blindly eat food given by suspicious people. Got it?”

“…Yes, okay.”

Even though I was a blood lord, it seemed like my guard was too low.

Meanwhile, Lund, who was nearby, opened his mouth belatedly.

“Chris, Sylvia.”

“Uh, why?”

Sylvia didn’t answer Lund, but looked at her with me.

“Anything like this can happen while you are here.”

“…So?”

When Lund started to say something, Sylvia asked what the point was.

“How about moving to another place?”

“…Moving?”

Maybe it’s not that bad?!

Of course, this was just my opinion. While thinking that way, I checked Sylvia’s expression…

Ah, it seems that Sylvia had the same opinion as me. Looking at Sylvia’s reaction, it was obvious that she was very shocked by this incident.

“So where are we moving to?”

“It’s a safer place than here.”

To be more precise, Lund was said to be located on the border between the eastern and southern parts of the city.

Hmm… I guess it won’t be bad. The problem was that there were more than one or two things to worry about when moving.

‘Er, I don’t know! Let’s go to Shincheonji! Ah, is this a bit like that? …Let’s go to the new world!”
